Based on the French science fiction series Valerian and Laureline, here is the first trailer for the Luc Besson directed Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets, which stars Dane DeHaan and Cara Delevingne and opens on July 21, 2017.

And yes, that is a Beatles master you’re hearing in the soundtrack, which is the first time one of the Fab Four’s master recordings has been licensed for use in a movie trailer, a remarkable feat in of itself.

Valerian (Dane DeHaan) and Laureline (Cara Delevingne) are special operatives for the government of the human territories charged with maintaining order throughout the universe. Valerian has more in mind than a professional relationship with his partner- blatantly chasing after her with propositions of romance. But his extensive history with women, and her traditional values, drive Laureline to continuously rebuff him.

Under directive from their Commander (Clive Owen), Valerian and Laureline embark on a mission to the breathtaking intergalactic city of Alpha, an ever-expanding metropolis comprised of thousands of different species from all four corners of the universe. Alpha’s seventeen million inhabitants have converged over time- uniting their talents, technology and resources for the betterment of all. Unfortunately, not everyone on Alpha shares in these same objectives; in fact, unseen forces are at work, placing our race in great danger.
